Before the Santa parade at this end, we decided to eat and chose Lexus. He thoroughly enjoy his open face Reuben. He said it's hard to find the open face version. I chowed down on the Smoked Platter and wow - so yummy! Hot, juicy and fresh and piled high with that delectable meat. Started the meal with Cheers with a Bloody Mary and a beer. Service was great despite how busy the restaurant was. Got to eat and rush out to see the lights of the floats and Santa himself. I'd definitely recommend especially for the smoked meat. Free parking.

Every experience I have had here was a good one. Seated within seconds, great food and good variety, friendly & attentive service all around. Always a place I return to several times yearly for various occasions, birthdays, friend gatherings etc. Very recommended.

Very good restaurant with great staff. Amazing price and nice atmosphere. There are TVs playing football with a dedicated bar in a different section. Very good for kids and adults alike. Some cons are long wait times and a very long time until your food arrives (30+ minutes). Some cleanliness but could definitely be improved. Would recommend as a low cost restaurant!

I have never had such poor service. We were not greeted until my Dad approached someone asking to be seated. We waited for some time before having a server come to our table, and when we did, she was the rudest service provider. She was actively sighing under her breath, being short with us, never once smiling or caring. She would walk away while we were mid sentence, and took away my sister's menu while she was trying to use it to order. We were all getting very upset so we requested another server as we were trying to have a nice lunch to celebrate my Dad's birthday. The next server was excellent and very pleasant, unfortunately we were never given names. The smoothies came out looking like they had been sitting out, the liquid had separated from the rest, and 2 seperate drink glasses were dirty on the inside with a brown substance. We were not offered any apology or discount on our meals for many of the major inconveniences we experienced. Will definitely not be returning.

Going for the traditional today, Jumbo smoke meat on rye bread, fries and coleslaw with a pickle. Linda was my server today and she was grand, alway great eating here and spending some quality time with family.

Been to this place pre-covid was great. We went recently.. was surprised to see somewhat normal prices... I then got my food.. I was a little shocked to see how they skimped on the hasbrowns.. just be aware the similar price = smaller portion. Was very good and cost me under $20...4 out of 5 only on account of the smaller portion..

This restaurant has been here for years, and it looks like it. The decor is tired and dated. The menu tries to cater to everyone, in my opinion it is 5 pages too long. My party of four each had something different, and none of us enjoyed our food. Bland, flavorless, and mediocre at best. Our server was an older lady, who wasn't in a hurry to do anything. When she added cutlery to the table she touched the tines of every fork, blade of every knife and each spoon. GROSS! She didn't return to the table once we had our food, and had to be flagged down when one of our party needed condiments. While the prices here might be cheap, it certainly reflects the quality of the product, service, and decor. None of my party of four will ever return based on our experience. If you're reading reviews wondering if you should dine here, I'd highly recommend that you pass and find somewhere else.

On Easter 2023 (yesterday) we went to Lexus restaurant on Centrum Blvd in Orleans for supper. Very very bad experience. When we arrived, the owner, who never smiles and no personality placed us beside a large table which was reserved instead of placing us at another table even if there were many tables available. When the large group arrived, it became very noisy and I asked if we could change place. The other owner (the wife) was not friendly and placed us at a small table in the bar area even if we were four people. Did not bring any water or refills and did not ask what kind of salad we preferred. When it came time to pay, she was very friendly (for a tip) but I did not give her one since the service was very bad.

Amazing experience all around. Staff are friendly and provided excellent service. The atmosphere is very classy, very welcoming. The bartender makes a excellent drink, had a nice long island ice tea. The food is incredible, great portions, great taste. And the desserts to die for. We will going back again very soon.

I love smoked meat and it's very good here, thick slices fresh rye bread. Cosy bar and big dinning room. It's not in a very conspicuous location but that's ok too. Breakfast is also very good.

Excellent service and food. The best smoked meat this side of Montreal. The food made it to the table while still hot, and was delicious. By the way, the bathrooms are super clean. Returned again on Feb 1 2023, had made a reservation for 8 two weeks earlier, and confirmed again yesterday. Had asked for a specific booth in the middle of the restaurant that could accommodate 8 people. and was told OK both times. When we arrived the booth was not available and instead a few tables were quickly shoved together instead. When we complained, the manager said they don't let you choose the location when reserving. Why were we not told that before we got there? This left a bad taste in our mouths, and we won't be back.

Overall positive experience. I've been a few times and every time i've enjoyed it. Its for a older crowd no problem with that i get along with old folks more then those my own age. Food is good. And the cook is fast which i appreciate greatly.

Overall it was a good experience. We went for dinner. Our server was very friendly, efficient and courteous. Her name was Chesea (Server 000008). The only complaint is that the Owner was rude. We wanted a booth but he told us that it reserved only for 2 people? Why? We were four people, not much room to eat at our table.

Great to be greeted by a nice friendly smile into a clean restaurant with a large menu. Love the roast potatoes, Chicken Parm, and everything else we have tried. Desserts are truly wonderful and they make a great gin & tonic!

Took 15 minutes for us to get a table. Everyone kept walking by and ignoring us. Service in general was horrible server was in a bad mood and was super careless. Being dry and rude. Food was horrendous. The bacon was precooked microwaved bacon(i know because it looked, tasted and felt the same as the one i make at home). I get shirnkflation but portions of everything was sooo tiny. The eggs were still liquid almost. All the toast was burnt. I used to come here all the time years ago and now its just not good. We wanted to try this place again but we will definitely go to Broadways next time much more worth it.

Will NOT be returning to this resto. Terrible and unfriendly service, death glare when you ask if we can order, waited 15 mins to get seated, sub-par breakfast. So long Lexus.

West there for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. Food was great! Great portions and quality. Lynda our server was super friendly and helpful. Will be going back for dinner!

Great place! I usually prefer to visit for brunch, but after a recent evening visit, their dinner options are delicious! And of course, friendly staff make it a nice place to visit when in Orléans.

Went there with my boss, she return her drink because it didn't taste good, while enjoying our calamari the host comes by as he's setting up the table next to us and asked what's wrong with your drink, we answered it didn't taste good, he then says we don't need people like you here, you should leave. Never in my life have I ever experienced something like this. I would not give my money to such an establishment who condones their employees asking patron to leave simply for returning a drink.

12 of us had a lovely brunch today. Although the restaurant was full, our server Patty never missed a beat! She did a great job! The food was delicious with generous serving sizes and the atmosphere was very relaxing and nice! We will definitely be back!

The food is edible but certainly not top quality. The steak was fatty, the onion soup was bland, the smoke meat was alright and the pizza was sauce less. The server had a chip on her shoulder when we tried to order the apps and drinks at the same time. It was a strange experience as she just walked away from us only to return 5 minutes later with water. Well for me this is certainly not a repeat. There is alot of seniors there.

Booked on Wednesday for 8 people for a birthday party on Sunday for a 90 year old mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Due to power outage we were denied the reservation that was booked 5 days earlier!! They had lots of customers already. Really sad that power was working but did not honor the booking. Guess where 8 people will never go again?? How do you put a negative star??

A FAMILY FRIENDLY RESTAURANT WITH A GOOD SELECTION OF MENU ITEMS FOR PLAIN AND SLIGHTLY MORE ADVENTUROUS DINERS. STAFF ARE FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT, FOOD QUALITY AND QUANTITY ARE VERY GOOD. WE HAVE DINED THERE MONTHLY, ON AVERAGE, FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS AND ARE ALWAYS HAPPY WE WENT.

Food is OK. Appears to serve mostly older clientele 60+. Menu is too large, which is usually a red flag for restaurants. My partner's steak was overcooked. Friendly wait staff. Not a bad experience but I wouldn't come back.

Family style restaurant, large variety on the menu. Food has never disappointed me and the smoked meat is the best in Ottawa! Service is always pleasant and very friendly

After waiting in line for 10 min to be seated no one even said hi to us. After that we did ask about the wait time. Restaurent looked very empty. The server said look at the sign it's there for a reason we decided to turn around and go elsewhere. Very sad cause this is one very good restaurent.
